What are the red boxes at the very bottom. Battery connectors?

Looks like it's motor connections. If that's what they are, it makes it much easier to pull the control panel out for repairs and improvements.

nice job orgnizing the wires

wow, this looks beautiful.

If only I could keep all our wires so organized. Only problem is, the mechanical team never gives us enough room to have nice and organized electronics board, so we alwasy end up trying to squeeze everything into every corner that can fit something.

wow... (are you really using all of those relays and pwm's?)

That is beautiful...the neatest, most organized control system I have seen on a FIRST robot. Now if I could only get our control team to make ours look that good...or at least half that good. I can only hope.

You think that's a lot?

810 is using 5 Victor 884's and 6 Spikes. We were going to be using 7 Spikes, but we ran out of weight/time to add on some cool lighting :).

Of course, the fact that we have all those electronics doesn't mean the systems they drive all work yet... :-\

Nice wireing job, hope you didn't get to cut up using the wire mold, that stuff is sharp. BTW you might get challanged on those cooling fans as they are not part of the kit.

My favorite part is the modularity of the whole thing. It looks like with just a couple connections you can remove the box.

On our bot we have:
7 - Victor 884s
5 - Spikes
1 - Servo

I certainly hope not, cuz we have a heat sink on the top of our compressor. With out it, there is no way to keep the compressor cool, and we have the compressor on for the entire match cuz we have soo many pneumatics running all the time.

A heat sink isn't an electrical device. They follow under the same category a sprocket or chain would.


EDIT: Hooked on phonics worked for me.

Then how can the fans be chanllenged? Sure, they need electricty to run, but their not really electrical divices.

They may or may not challenge you but just in case bring the giant muffin fans First provided you. They should do the same thing.

FIRST doesn't agree with you.

Q: May we use additional off-the-shelf fans if their only purpose is to cool the robot?
A: If it comes with its own motor, you may not use it. You may only use additional fans that are powered by motors provided in the Kit.
